Once you're happy with how it looks, use the remaining glue dot to attach the frame to the battery case (hot glue works too). Apply the dot to the front of the case. Peel off the backing, and attach to the lower edge of the frame, where the plastic screen extends all the way to the edge of the mat. Apply some pressure to make it stick.

You now have a one-of-a-kind piece of LED artwork... enjoy!

I really like working with these LEDs, and they have a lot of creative possibilities. Here are some links to flickr sets of projects I created with them in the past, which this Instructable is based on:

A small three sided box or lean-to made from copy paper can be taped to the back of the frame to reduce the stray light from the rear and enhance the show.
